Tapestry, a wonderful little picture-storytelling app from NYC did a lovely job of capturing the backstory of my “I don’t have friends” piece, one of my all-time favorites.… [To read the entire original backstory, go here.]
“Live-Tooning”: gapingvoid does Events, Y’all…
Gapingvoid Does Events — TechCrunch Disrupt SF 2012 from Gapingvoid on Vimeo. We’re doing more and more events these days. I call it “Live-Tooning”… It’s what I do instead of “Public Speaking”. A little bit more unique. Here’s what we wrote recently: Here’s how to supercharge your event: The gapingvoid team was engaged by TechCrunch to create […]
The gapingvoid Wall at Techcrunch HQ
[Techcrunch and gapingvoid have been friends for a while– since 2006 or so, actually. And here’s the art to prove it, hanging on a wall in the main Techcrunch offices in downtown San Francisco. Those smaller ones are 9“x12”, larger ones are ginormous. Jeff Sass took the picture while visiting there a couple of weeks ago…]
THESE. ARE. AWESOME: Large, 40“x40” gapingvoid prints on metal.
Keith Thomson, Managing Director up Stonegate Private Council (a wealth management firm up in Toronto) liked the “Dent” cartoon so much, he commissioned a special large one: 40x40 inches, printed on metal with a gloss surface. It came out looking awesome. Very slick, very solid, very professional. And then he graciously posed in front of the […]
Gape into the void
[Sent out in yesterday’s newsletter. Buy the print here etc.] Lots of people ask where the gapingvoid.com name comes from. Here you go, the cartoon was originally published in the Austin Chronicle, while I was attending University of Texas. The fellow peering into the viewer is Gloop, I still draw him today, when I need a kinda lumbering, […]
Innotribe
As followers of my Twitter stream will know, last week I was in Toronto, live-cartooning at Innotribe 2011. Innotribe happens every year at Sibos, the ENORMOUS international banking and financial conference put together by SWIFT. Chris Skinner wrote a nice overview here, with the gapingvoid photstream over here. My job was to “live-toon” drawings over the […]
You don’t want to change the world…
Everybody wants to be on the winning team. Some people don’t care what team they’re on, to paraphrase Bob Dylan, so long as they’re winning. I’ve been around those people all my life. Most were forgotten, by me and everybody else. Some people don’t mind if they win or lose, as long as they don;t get hurt. Some […]

So what’s next? gapingvoid is having its first “Evil Plans” salon on Wednesday evening, the 23rd of March at 7.30pm, just under a week from now. Downtown Miami. It will be limited to 15 […]
evil plans: please look after this englishman
[“Burden”: You can buy the print here etc.] My old buddy from my early London social media days, Lloyd Davis has an Evil Plan. A US road trip with a big social media angle: “Please Look After This Englishman”. In March 2010, I traveled, sometimes with others, sometimes alone, coast-to-coast across the USA from Boston to […]
